Summary

The steady laminar boundary layer flow on a thin and isothermal moving cylinder in a viscous compressible fluid at rest is studied in this paper. The fluid considered is a model fluid in which ϱ∼T −1 and μ∼T ω. The transformed non-similar boundary layer equations are solved numerically using a very efficient numerical method for some values of ω and wall enthalpyg ω parameters. The skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are calculated for Pr=0.7 and some values of ω andg ω
